Over the last week, “ulicezabicikliste” made some efforts to beautify their neighbourhood. Not really in the position to simply donate a real bike to each citizen of Belgrade, they, nevertheless, made a solid contribution to reducing car traffic in the city: now, they are actually sharing bicycle paintings on the walls surrounding their office with Savamala citizens. The neighbours love it.
Now, at least the street of Svetozara Radica looks less polluted.

Ulice za bicikliste is an independent organization committed to improving biking conditions and increasing the visibility of cyclists in highly-trafficked areas of Belgrade. We hope to see cycling and walking culture overtaking the car culture which is outdated and in many ways threatens the citizens’ well-being. Ulice za bicikliste was created on the basis of monthly Critical Mass events. We are proud to be an example of grassroots activism in Belgrade. Our activities take place locally, based on the interests and engagement of the community. Our local office will be at the Svetozara Radica 3, in order to conduct our activities in the area of Savamala. We plan to organize workshops with kids and locals on basics of bike maintenance and building bike stands that we want to place in Savamala. The Critical Mass events, that take places each last Saturday of the month, will from now finish in the area of Savamala bringing 300 to 500 cyclists each time and less car pollution in general.
